We had the extreme pleasure of getting a Bentley Continental GT for a few days. Let’s just say we made the most of it. Here’s a clip of us putting on some Forever Ashbury stickers & enjoying a ride through our beloved city. Shout out to ILMT family & Nathan Sok for the great work. Enjoy.

Out Of The Garage
Bringing new life to the space at 1828 E. Broadway, entrepreneurs Johnny Phan and Jaiden Do opened the doors of Forever Ashbury last month between Cherry and Hermosa avenues.
Forever Ashbury, a Long Beach-based clothing, skateboard and accessory brand that started in the business owners’ garage, has a storefront for the first time since it was created five years ago.
“We have built a really beautiful store from the ground up,” Phan said. “We have completely remodeled this store, building everything ourselves. Business so far has been amazing – we are building a strong core following with the local skateboarders and people who are interested in this type of fashion.”
Forever Ashbury’s trademark color is purple, and the company’s distinct logo can be found adorning T-shirts, sweaters, hats, shoes, skateboards and other products.
“We are definitely not a typical skate shop or a typical boutique,” Phan said. “We put our own style and creativity into this.”
For details about Forever Ashbury, which has a detailed website and regularly update blog written by the store’s owners, visit www.foreverashbury.com or call (562) 432-8300. The store is open daily.
Thank You Ashleigh Oldland and the Gazette!
Saturday, December 17th marks the day of priceless memories for us. This was the day of our ‘Private Grand Opening Party’. All of our blood, sweat, tears, heart & soul went into making our store a reality. We finally got a chance to unveil it to our friends & family. The night was a complete success filled with smiles, laughter & just all around good vibes. We want to thank our family & friends from the bottom of our heart for the love and continued support. We really couldn’t do it without you.
A special shout out goes to our friends over at Marquez de Valencia for blessing us with their premium tequila all night long. We would also like to thank Matt Simmerman from Dubtree for the amazing pictures once again, you’re awesome man!
Finally we have Nate Sok of 24 Karat Pictures for filming this memorable occasion. Thank you for all your hard work Nat. The video is amazing.
If Forever Ashbury was paid with love, we would be the richest guys in the world. Enjoy the video. (Part 1 of 2)
Yes its official! We’re opening our first Forever Ashbury store. We promised you awhile back that everything that you’ve seen from us so far was just the tip of the iceberg. We weren’t lying. This is a true milestone for us. Words could not describe the blood, sweat, and tears we have been putting in to make this dream a reality. Cheers to the beginning of a beautiful journey. S/O to Matt from Dubtree for the amazing photos.
P.S. Grand Opening & Grand Opening party to be announced very soon.
Did You Know… The first name of Long Beach was Willmore City? The City of Long Beach was incorporated (the first time) in 1888 and, after the turn of the century, Long Beach was one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. Here, young people in front of the Pine Avenue Pier are dressed in the latest swimwear, circa 1890.
It’s fun to know a little history about our city and it’s amazing to see how much fashion has changed. Fashion recycles itself, but will this ever come back? Probably not anytime soon but only time will tell.

We were very excited to receive our samples today for our new snapback! The construction was excellent. Flawless 5 panel seams with a perfect crown. We only plan on tweaking the materials a bit and then hopefully the hat will be perfect for production.

Sunday, January 17th in the year of 2010 was an epic day for Michael K. Green better know as Blacc Mike. He’s touched so many hearts and lives and now the City of Long Beach and many other supporters have blessed him and all kids trying to stay out of trouble with his very own skatepark. It’s located on 14th and Pacific in the Eastside of Long Beach. It was a very touching day to see how many different people came out to this event. Blacc Mike lives on Forever. We love you.
